Furniture Feature Friday – Link Party & Favorites

Ack! I started writing this post and then part of it was deleted. Sorry I’m late for my own party. The past couple of weeks have been nuts. I’ve been traveling and helping my parents move into their new house and working on the milk paint line and trying to get some sleep and eat some fruit and veggies. Craziness. I know most of you are so busy as well and I appreciate your visits to my blog, your comments and when you link up to this party. There are so many other ways you could spend your time and I’m glad you spend some of it here.

So, here are my favorites from a couple of weeks ago…

I LOVE this dresser by Martha from Leone Designs. Love, love, love. It was inspired by the graphic design on a Parcheesi game board. So clever, right? The colors look so sharp and the simple design looks classy. Awesome work.

I’ve bought a few pieces like this old china cabinet and they always feel a little awkward and dumpy. I love how Jen from City Farmhouse painted it out in a fresh white and then turned the glass door into a chalkboard. It gives the piece a modern look while still allowing it to be what it is.

Lucy May from Lucy’s Lampshade found this awesome chair at a yard sale. A YARD SALE! I usually don’t feature finds, but this piece is really special. (I also love the collection of brooms hanging on the wall in the background.) Great find!

Here are the rules for our furniture get-together…

1.) Your post has to be about furniture. Please, please, please…just furniture. If you find your link has been deleted, it’s not because I’m mean, it’s because your post was not about furniture. You can share makeovers, awesome finds, favorite pieces, furniture arrangements, or even pieces on your wish list! Built-in furniture like kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities qualify as furniture.

2.) Post a permalink (the link to the post), not the link to your blog.

3.) This party will close Friday at midnight PST and I will choose my favorite(s) and feature their piece(s) on next week’s FFF.

After months of stalking {in a nice way} furniture redo’s I finally have one to share myself! I didn’t find this furniture in a thrift store … I already owned it, so redo’ing it saved it from being banished from the house Sort of a reverse recycling. Anyway, thanks Miss Mustard Seed for being a great source of information and inspiration for furniture rehab and styling, and of course, for hosting this great party where we can share our projects.

Ah…I can see why you featured that beautiful porch chair! The aged texture is out of this world! Love it! Thank you for hosting. It’s always a nice party over here! And M– I’m having problems posting comments here… I’ve tried several times but don’t know if it’s working or not, so if I come up several times- my apologies.

I went to link up chairs that I had redone this am & found that you had featured my chalkboard hutch. I am so thrilled & excited, thank you! Off to see some of the other beautiful features:), Have a great weekend!Jen

Thanks Marian for featuring my parcheesi dresser. You have a great eye for art and can appreciate various styles. I love that about your feature choices each week. You truly have style and a God-given gift for this. It’s great that He has blessed your biz and given you such success. Congrats!!!

Oh my! I have just had my biscuit buttered and and my tea sweetened! I feel like I have finally arrived in the blogging world….. “THE” Miss Mustard Seed has featured me (well, my chair!) on Furniture Friday!
I relish in your pictures of the rusty goodness of your old scooters, tricycles, etc. When I saw that chair at the yard sale, I immediately thought …”That is a Miss Mustard Seed kind of find!”. I paid $2 for that rusty goodness of a children’s lawn chair! Thanks for the feature….but you know you have created a swelled head monster who can’t wait for 7 AM tomorrow!

Wow! Your readers do amazing work. i’ve never seen so many beautiful pieces of furniture in one place. I tired to post my chartreuse china cabinet but must have done something wrong as the picture doesn’t show up. LOL! I have a lot to learn about all of this but I WILL prevail! Patti

Throw out the notion that good design is expensive, must be carried out by a professional and can only be bought in a fancy store. I live in a real home on a real budget and have never taken a design class in my life. A great look is affordable and attainable to anyone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and dive in. So, get ready to go junking, tune up the sewing machine, and buy a good paint brush. Your home's potential is waiting to be realized and you're the one who's going to discover it.
